Gardai Caught Some Absolute Chancers Driving On Irish Roads This Week

Gardai caught several people acting the eejit on Irish roads this week, including one with no rear tyre on their car.

After the vehicle was stopped, it emerged that the driver also had no insurance, NCT or tax.

"This is extremely dangerous to everyone on the road," officers wrote on Twitter.

"The risk the driver took in driving a car with no tyre is ridiculous."
